“Change means to me is the most important movement in life. We’re energy. That is all we are. We are light of energy; Painting is the light of energy; Creativity is the light of energy. The universe is composed of nothing but energy. So, how can you stand still, if you have energy? And I ask often for that kind of energy to come.”

Linde B. Martin, 在她送我的DVD上說出了這句開場白. 今年8月, 一個意外的右轉, 我走進了她在Carmel 的精緻畫廊. “The DVD is usually for sale. For you, just keep it. With the DVD, You can share more inner thoughts in my paintings.” 也許是我好奇的心態下, 向她問了不少她的創作理念, 她才覺得”孺子可教”吧!?

不過說實在的, 當我走進gallery時, 有些作品因為剛剛”出爐”, 空氣中還瀰漫著濃烈的原料味, 加上特殊的燈光, 只照射在比Salvador Dali更surrealistic的作品上, 使得整個空間充滿了十足的神秘感. 這樣的風格的確在Carmel地區的藝術家是不多見的.

PS: 附圖“Sub Orbits of My Soul”(http://www.lindebmartin.com/) 是Martin女士2003年的新作. 如果一個人的靈魂可以如此具象的表達, 那她對自己靈魂的剖析和掌握真的令人折服啊!
